Emilia
Lay

My name is Emilia Lay, and I am a Melbourne based upcoming designer who is currently studying fashion design at Whitehouse Institute of Design. I plan to enter Melbourne’s luxury fashion market after graduating this year and introduce my innovative approach to tailored luxe fashion solutions. Focussing on women’s ready to wear, I aim to introduce designs that are durable, high quality and custom. The aim of my craft is to evoke self-love and confidence in those who wear my creations. As a designer, my work is heavily influenced by postmodernism and aspects of tailoring. Whether it be mixing bold colours and fabrications or creating an emphasis on oversized voluminous silhouettes through tailoring while utilising hardware, my designs are intended to showcase a sense of modernity for the current and future fashion industry with the intention that it remains a staple piece.
